Celebrating holidays without Levi is crushing. I am truly following Nicole's lead and CHOOSING to provide a childhood for my kids, as well as hers, but it is not easy.
We also miss Jpa and his constant presence as the head of our Glover family every day, especially on holidays.
We miss this baby and our Jpa and, most of all, we miss that very brief time when our family was whole.
The fact that we still have each other and still intentionally plan time to be together every holiday is not lost on me. I love all of these people.
We did Christmas Eve day at Mom's house. Poor Iz was traumatized during the time that cupcake was there.
Cousins on a couch.
Anderson won the "What kind of dog is Cupcake contest?" She is a pomeranian and poodle and perfect.
The Lego obsession continues.
As does the Xbox obsession.
Zack & Amanda totally spoil our parents.
Uncle Hughes got them air soft/pellet guns and they LOVED them!
Pieces.
We went to Christmas Eve night at Toni's house. Aunt LoLo has been saving tabs for Max and he was so happy!
GG love.
Gag gifts!
Love this hubs.
Donna won the 13-year-old fruitcake!
We went home & set out Max's play-doh cookies and carrots & the only slightly cookie related thing I could get anyone to decorate.
Santa!
The Blender Box has housed Anderson's "big gift" for the last 3 years-this note was in the bottom of it this year.
He was excited!
Starting a new tradition-streamers on Christmas morning.
Yearly picture with the bags.
Taking it back to the first year with them....
I have to fight every instinct I have to NOT pick every single thing (including the tree) up by 7am on Christmas morning.
Anderson was SO happy with his xbox related gifts.
Yes, that is a pair of underwear resting on the table.
Christmas morning-back to GG's for MORE presents!
These boys are so spoiled rotten.
I was possibly even more excited than this kid was about this detailed, magical set.
Nerf war
Back to Noni's for Christmas lunch....
and more Nerf wars.
I finally used the Grinch plates when we all ate leftover pizza for dinner that night.
Last pic-Max in his new scuba suit from Noni.
